In light of World Brain Day on July 22, medical experts highlight the importance of quality sleep for maintaining brain health in an era dominated by extensive screen use.

Dr. Vikram Huded, President of the Indian Stroke Association and Director of Interventional Neurology at Narayana Health City, highlights that poor or interrupted sleep disrupts brain function and elevates the risk of stroke, dementia, and mood disorders.

The increased exposure to screens can disrupt sleep patterns, making it vital to prioritize good sleep hygiene to support neurological well-being.
